HAIR DRYING AN D WAVING APPARATUS.

Specification of Letters Patent.

. Application led May 10, 1917. Serial No. 167,750.

To all whom t may concern:

Be it known that we, HANNAH JAcoBs and HARRY JACOBS, citizens of theUnited States, and residents of Brooklyn, New York, in the county ofKings and State of New York, have invented certain new and usefulImprovements in Hair Drying and Waving Apparatus, of which the followingis a speciication. y

Our invention relates to improvements in hair drying and wavingapparatus and relates particularly to a portable apparatus. of thischaracter and embodies the principle disclosed in our previousapplication filed on December14th, 1916, and bearing Serial Number137026, and allowed April` 12th, 191

Our object is to provide a compact portable device of the characterdescribed which embodies the drying member and air heating and drivinmeans as one unit.

A further object is to provide a device of this character which will beeconomical in cost of manufacture.

We attain these objects by means of the apparatus shown in the drawingsin which; Figure I is a side view, partly in section, of our device andFig. II is an end view of same.

Referring to the parts 1 designates a casing having a tangentiallyprojecting drying unit formed thereon; the said drying unit consistingof an outer tube 2, and an inner tube 3 securely and concentricallyfastened together by means of the head 4, made of heat resistingmaterial.

The inner tube 3 is attached to the head 4:, through its central opening5 and is formed with the perforations 5 and 6 which act as inlets andoutlets. The outer tube 2 is pron vided with one or more peripheraloutlets 7 and in juxtaposition to the said outlets 7 there is providedan air deiecting rim o1- collar 8.

Concentrically located within the casing 1, is a fan 9-which is causedto rotate by means of a suitable motor 10 within the casing 1. Anelectrical heating element 2, is also located within the casing 1 on theside opposite the said motor 10 and is adapted to heat the air as it isdrawn into the fan compartment of the casing 1.

A wire mesh or screen 12 is provided in the opening 13 leading to thefan compartment. A. handle 14 is attached to the casing secured to theupper portion of the device to provide a means for suspending same whendesired.

Electrical uid for operating the motor 10 and heating element 11 isprovided from any suitable source by means of the conductor 16.v

Proper controlling switches may be {lirovided upon the apparatus orapart om same.

In operation, the hair, to be dried and waved, is wound upon a stem inthe usual manner and placed within the inner tube 3 of the drying unit;the opening 5 being suitably closed with cotton or otherwise. The deviceis then suspended or held in position by any suitable means and theelectrical current turned on. A

The rotation of the fan 9, by means of its centrifugal action drives theair through the opening 13 to the fan compartment.

.The swiftly driven hot air through the drying unit causes the rapiddrying of the hair upon the stem within the said unit.

It is obvious that a screw blade fan may readily be used in place of thecentrifugal fan shown and the heating element may be placed within thetube 2 if desired.

It is also obvious that we may embody various other modications to ourinvention without departin from the spirit of same. We do not, there orewish to be understood as limiting ourselves to the particularconstruction shown.

What we claim and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is:

1. In a portable hair drying and waving apparatus, a drying memberadapted to engage and inclose a winding stem having hair wound thereon,a fan casing formed integrally with said drying member, a fan locatedtherein and adapted to force air through the said drying member, meansfor heating the air as it is vdrawn into the fan casing, means forrotating 'said fan and a handle formed upon the said casing and providedto aford a means yfor holding the apparatus in juxtaposition to thehead.

2. In a portable hair drying and waving apparatus, a ldrying memberadapted to engage a winding stem having hair wound thereon, a fan casingformed integrall with the said drying member, a handle ormed upon thesaid casing and provided to afford a means for holding the apparatus injuxtaposition to the head, a fan located Within 1.1.0
